WOODEN MANUFACTURERS

The Journal, every day or two, p
Mr.. Cleveland for his ignor> iia'suS
wool question, assuming to- ,t1 -. 49,
question so thoroughly e -, 80
Clevelsnd's errors. = - 80. s.Tho
fIeS4uens he subject as If the only
'puPoae - Ltting a tariff on imported
WV, wa" o enhancs the price of American
WOE nd thereby enable the american
wv grower to realize larger profit on his
Wool product" The President does not
('argue the subject as if,'' the President
states facts. The tariff on wool is 10 and
IL cents a pound. The wool growers want
this tax to remain because It enables them
to sell their wool 10 and II cents 8
pound higher than they otherwise could
sell it; they want even a higher tax, that
they may realize a higher price for their
wool. 1t will be observed that the Journal
can't write Of wool without making q con-
summate ass OF itself. II knows absolute
Iy nothing about the subject, never studied
1t, and Is totally disqualified for expressing
any opinion upon the subject of any value
TO anyone-not even those whose interests
1t foolishly seeks to champion. Read the
following concentrated essence of asininity
which we clip from the Journal.
The sole purpose of the tariff on wool is
to educate our own people in the art, so TO
speak, OF wool-growing, in order that they,
by.superior intelligence, experience in the
business and the requirement OF knowl-
edge on the subject, may be enabled to
produce wool in such abundance, by new
and improved methods, that they can sell
wool much cheaper than they do now-sell
mese OF it, and yet realize q larger profit
On the pound than they do at present.
Here we have II; the 'art' of wool-grow-
ing by 'new and improved methods de-
mands the tax that wool may be cheaper,
the idea being that wool-growers are SUBJ
Iimated philanthropists who are constantly
working for the good of the world, aud
never lconsider their own interests at
all. That sort Of logic won't wash, and 1t
is too everlastiEgly idiotie to require com.
ment. But here is another specimen brick
from the ram-parts Of the Journals WOOL
article:
The tariff on manufactures has edu.
Gated our people in handicraft, so that we
can produce goods for less than half we
formerly paid for them, and under this
policy we not only get cheaper goods, but
furnish work for our laborers ct higher
wages than they received In former times.
The tariff on wool advances the price 10
aid II cents pound. and this tariff has
the effect to close WOODEN mills. Mr..

CEASE RoBBING THE PEOPLE,

The Democratic party comes before the
country with the straightout proposition
that the Government has no right to take
from the pockets of the people 500, 900, 900
year more money than It has any legiti
mate use for.
Those who oppose the Democratic party
would have the Government continue the
policy by which this vast amount of money
is annually taken from the pockets of the
people.
The Democratic party declares against a
policy which, look at it as you Will, is un-
mitigated robbery.
There is no amount of sophistry; there
is no amount of political chicane; there is
no amount of demagogueism that can, by
any means, obscure such political scouu-
drelism.
Those who oppose the Democratic policy
place themselves on record as favoring q
policy of downright robbery.
There is large element in the Republic
can party that will not follow the freeboot.
ing flag of the Republican bosses, who ad-
vocate robbing the people Of 800, 600, 900 a
year.
Already the most influential Re-
publican organs in the country indorse the
Democratic policy as mapped out by Pres
dent Cleveland.
The Republican blatherskite press con.
tend that protecting the industries of the
country can only be accomplished by rob-
bling the people of 500. 900, 900 year.
They say, in effect, protection aud rob-
berry must be maintained at all hagarda;
that they go hand in hand, and they say
this thing of robbing tLs people Of $780,.
100000 q year, $1,000, OOO,0 900 every ten
years, don't amount to anything-the peo-
pie can stand it, have stood it, under Re-
publican rule, for many years-and they
noint with pride to the colossal fortunes
that have been built up under policy of
robbery.
: This blatherskite, robbery Republican
press tells the people that to rob them OF 500
100000 year, 81, OO0. Ooo, 900 every tep:years
isgood foI them. That Iobblng them makes
them richer, just as bleeding makes them
stronger. But the people are no longer to
be gulled by such claptrap. They say taxes
to the extent of the absolute needs of the
government economically administered.
Not one dollar more. That is the Demo.
cratic policy. Upon that policy Democrats
are united, harmonious, in splendid fight
ing trim. The Republican party is split,
demoralized. The honest and intelligent
element, ride Chicago Tribune and the New
York Times, are with the Democratic
policy.

freshing to see Hon. Albert G. Porter feel

see Robertson ride the trick mule. In the
way of smusements nothing has OCCURRED
in Indianapolis equal to the meeting Of
the trained ponies at Pfafflin's Hall.

Charles NJ. Beach, one OF the most exter-
sive wooden manufacturers in the country,
said to q representative of the New York
Herald:
AS to the manufacture of WOODEN
goods, let me say this: We have big
mill with eighteen sets of machinery in It
for making ali kinds OF WOODEN stuffs. It
cost, let US say, $3.50. 900. 1t is now closed
down because we can't compete with for
eigners except at great loss-say loss of
$780, 900 year. Well, if the present con.
dition OF affairs continues we shall be glad
to tear all the machinery out of il and sell
IL for one.third OF It's cost and then put the
building to other uses. No sir, this tariff
business is anything but an unmitigated
blessing to our people. Bat ours is not an
isolated case. Only the other day the
Bennington Mills, which cost $500, 900, were
sold for about $50 000-yes, the whole
thing, buildings, machinery, everything,
for one-sixteenth of their original price.
Here we have 1.-THE wool tax is closing
the wooden mills of the United States.
1t will be observed, as we have remarked
that the Journal makes an ass of itself
when it talks wool. We invite the Journal
try il again.

REPUBLICANS are kindly disposed to Hon.
Albert G. Porter. They love him and are
ready to grant him any reques. in reason,
but when he asks to be released from
leading them to victory next year they will
insist on having their own way and nom-
mate him over protest.-Kokomo Gazette
Tribune.
Mr.. Porter is very largely overrated by
the Republicans of Indiana. If il had not
been for Dorsey, and corruption fund that
Pink Fisbback stated to have beed
100000, Mr.. Landers would have
been elected Governor Of Indiana
instead Of Mr.. Porter. That is
the cold fact in a nutshell. Another
point is, that these Republicans who are
pushing Mr.. Porter are simply using him
to rid themselves of Robertson, Sayre &
o., and Mr.. Porter knowsit,

When the Republican press of the State
lies like the devil about the management
of the benevolent institutions, it is to make

for the Republican party. All this "huls-

u.irs 10 yaluabIe Property,

DOVER, N. H, December 27.-Dr. W. w.
Weber stated to-day that the claim of his
father, William Weber, as one of the heirs
to plot OF land located In New York City
has been proven. The said plot, now in
cluded with massive blocks of buildings,
was bought in 1886 by Wilfred Weber, OF
Holland, who settled on Manhattan Island
q short time previous. In 1874 Mr.. Weber
leased the land to a kinsman, Wilfred
Weber, Jr., for 200 years. Weber's father
is of the seventh generation of the Weber
senior, who originally owned the land. On
the expiration of the lease in 1874 the land
naturally reverted to the descendants OF
the original Wilfred Weber, and for few
years past William Weber and other de-
scendants have been busily Engaged prov
ing they were direct descendants of the
first owner. Now that it is proved, there
will be a meeting of heirs in New York,
Jsnuary 20. to complete the arrangements
for getting possession. The property is
valued at $50, 000, 600.

To discover a sprinkle of gray In you beard,
And g thinness of crop where the upland is

To note how you take to your slippers and
And hug to the fire when you get home from

All, that's what it is to be forty.
To find that your shadow has portlier grown,
That your voice has q practical business-like
tone;
That your vision is tricky which once was so
And hint OF a wrinkle is coming to light;
All, that's what ii is to be forty.

Why, OF course, you'll be present, you never de.

Both dude and Ounce, is to carry off soon;
And boy that is ten, and the pride OF your eye,
Is caught smoking vile eigaretts on the sly
All, that's what it is to be forty.

At thirty his fire has a toberer flame;
At forty his dreams and visions are DER,
And he knows and he feels as he meier did

Chicago Times.
You all knew Bill JONES' did't you boys
Lived at the corners under the hill:
Greatsort O. teller fer maxim noise,
Tongue like woman. Couldn't keep still.
great sort o chap in his way was Jones.
Luck wasagin him right from the start;
III he threw for the drinks the blasted bones
Rolled In way that 'uld break his heart.
He knew all the horses by sight, did Bill:
Could give their pedigrees right by note,
An ez for whisky, why never q still
Was made could supply the feller's throat.
He'd foller the horses up ey'ry year.
An then come back in the fall dead broke.
Experience, boys, must have cost him dear,
But he never squealed-he'd sooner choke.
Oh he played in the darndest luck somehow
OF any chap that ever knew;
Why, If he managed to get in a row,
he always got licked enough for two.
There was nuthin' he touched that came out
right:
Before she was MIXED the self same night;
An when he'd throw dice the deuce was high.
remember once how he backed boss
That couldn't possibly lose the race
Yet, oil the samee, they give him the cross,
An be lost his money straight and place;
Oh how did he lose? Well, the boss fell dead
When right in the stretch, an almost home;
Bill looked. but never opened his head
reckon he gave an inard groan.
He he'd a wife that was pretty and smart,
Plump ez partridge and all o. that:
She eoped with chap and broke Bills heart;
Didn't leave nothin'-even the cat
Took ev'rythiDg in the world that Bill had,
An left him nothin' to call his own
Save the empty house, and then woz bad
Enough to return wnen health he'd flown.
The luck that had followed him all his life
Followed him into the grave as well,
How he lefG this world o. sorrow an strife,
No one that knew him ever could tell.
He started out tshin' one Su INNER day,
Never came back to his home at all,
An where he is buried no man kin say,
An " here be winding. sheet and pail.

King John and the British Mission.

ROME, December 27.-The British Mission
to Abyssinia was detained eight days by
Rasalula while on its onward journey, aud
was hsmpered still more by mistrust of the
Abyssinian chiefs. Forty-seven days we're
consumed in reaching King John. The
King granted the mission an audience, bat
refused to see Major Beech. The mission
sub sc quently accompanied the King for a
period of ten days, all the time moving
from place to place. The homeward JOUR-
ney of the mission will not be retarded.
King John, in his intercourse with the Wis
itors, merely accorded the necessary civili-
ties. The mission dined with the Italian
